Seven purchases are not seven days: WoR November top-up
How total W-Gold and order days count, when the day changes in Moscow and when the November event ends.
Published · Updated
Seven purchases on one day do not count as seven top-up days. The official Watcher of Realms November event rules separately track total W-Gold and days with orders in UTC−8. Here is how to read both tables and why Moscow midnight does not reset that daily counter.
One day, however many orders
A top-up day is a UTC−8 day on which an order is completed. It counts as one day. Two, three or seven orders within it do not create as many participation days. The announcement also says any amount of W-Gold topped up during the event qualifies for rewards.
The day table has thresholds of 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, giving 200, 500, 800 and 1000 W-Gold respectively. Each row also lists 100 Energy and 5 Quick Raid tickets. These are individual row values, not order counts. The published text does not require consecutive top-up days.
The event day changes at 11:00 Moscow time
The rules use fixed UTC−8. Moscow, UTC+3, is 11 hours ahead, so 00:00 UTC−8 is 11:00 Moscow time. The event runs from 29 October 2026 at 00:00:00 to 12 November at 23:59:59 UTC−8. In Moscow: 29 October 11:00:00 — 13 November 10:59:59.
For example, 30 October at 10:50 in Moscow is still 29 October, 23:50 in the event zone. At 11:10 Moscow it becomes 30 October, 00:10 UTC−8. These are two event days within one Moscow date. Orders across Moscow midnight may instead fall within one UTC−8 day. Use the zone specified by the rules.
Total W-Gold is a different counter
W-Gold is the balance unit topped up through the listed WoR platforms. The event measures top-up amounts in it, summing purchases from those platforms. A threshold is the total required to unlock a reward. Several purchases can increase that total while counting as just one participation day.
Reaching a higher threshold also grants lower-threshold rewards. The developer’s example: 9999 W-Gold grants rewards at 1, 4980 and 9980. Under the rules, items are sent immediately to in-game mail, the messages and attached rewards section. A threshold of 1 does not prove the shop sells a pack of exactly 1 W-Gold.
The specific Windows rule
The announcement lists the official shop, Smile.One, Coda and the Windows version. For Windows, it specifically includes directly paid purchases that do not use existing W-Gold stock: they count towards the top-up event too. It does not separately promise credit for spending an old balance.
Combining platforms applies to the total W-Gold amount, not extra days within one UTC−8 day. Before ordering, check the intended event and its availability on your platform. Combining different accounts or servers is not described.
Compare both indicators before ordering
Check the current top-up total, credited days and event timer, then identify the reward row for your next step. After a completed order, check the amount credited, daily participation and in-game mail. This helps distinguish an unmet threshold from a misread calendar.
Top-up conditions do not replace a separate summon event’s rules. See why ×20 is neither 20% nor a guaranteed hero for that distinction. It is an archived example of closed October windows; their dates and guarantees do not carry over to this November top-up.
The official table lists in-game rewards, not a universal W-Gold-to-rouble rate or identical pack prices across regions. It cannot identify the cheapest payment route. We analysed counting rules; we did not purchase anything or test actual reward receipt in our own client.
